Pergola Village
Description
In 1953, Nivola published the project ‘Pergola Village. Vined Orani’ in the American magazine Interiors.
The artist’s dream was to paint the houses in his hometown white with a sky-blue base and connect all of the buildings with a pergola covered with grapevines, symbolically reinforcing the sense of community among residents and transforming the streets into shared spaces.
Today, with the support of the Region of Sardinia, the Municipality of Orani and the Fondazione Nivola, the spirit of Nivola’s plan has been revived in Stefano Boeri’s interpretation of the large-scale public art project. The town’s historic centre, painted white and sky blue and protected by the shade of grapevines and pomegranate trees, is the perfect place for a stroll amidst shops and picturesque streets.
